Contribution to the green economy:

An increase in production-based CO2 productivity would indicate more GDP being created per unit of carbon dioxide emitted, which is why it is beneficial for the transition to a green economy.

Potential misinterpretation:

Improvements in carbon productivity can be due to efficiency increases but can also be due to displacements of carbon intensive production to other countries. The demand perspective is an important addition to the debate on global environmental issues, and the related indicators help explain movements in production-based measures.
